T-H-R-E-E

My sweet surprise turned THREE on Friday.  Oh there was so much confusion surrounding the big day.  She was pretty sure she didn't need another birthday since she already had her party.  But why not celebrate all month long!

But Before the big day of being three we had to get sick on Wednesday.  Fever and an ear infection.

We like to color.  We like purple.

Annie stopped napping about 11 months ago.  She still wakes up about 6 nights a week to come and find me.  It's like musical beds all night long.  She's an early riser.  It's usually around 6:00 AM and bedtime close to 7:00-7:30.

She loves watching Youtube videos of people playing with Paw Patrol figurines.

She's into fashion and dressing herself.  She picked out the coat and shoes...she said they matched!

We LOVE Annie and how she adds so much love and life to our family.

V-Day and festiveness

I really, really, REALLY want my kids to look back on their childhood when they are older and think, “My mom tried to be fun…she made holidays and special days fun.’’  With that being said, I try to decorate and be festive when festiveness is called for.

Valentine's morning....

 Ford

 Annie

 Bit

And no day is complete without some parties...

First I celebrated with John Brantley and some ice cream sundaes.... 

 Eli, Mox, and Bit

 John Brantley prefers "chocolate stew".  That is vanilla ice cream with a lot of chocolate syrup and plenty of stirring to soften it up.

 Bit and Carson

 Passing out his treats. 

 

 I love this one!

 Then that afternoon the Littles and I went to celebrate with Ford.  Under normal circumstances I do not like to bring siblings to parties, but this was how it had to be on this day.

 Ohhh they love each other!!!

 We are definitely going to need braces.

 Annie snacked too.

 Bingo

 Mrs. Bouchillon's second grade

 Veazey and Ford

 On Friday Sister had her party with ice cream sundaes...

 There are a lot of females in her class!

Annie and Kate

Emery, Nora, and Annie

 

Those.  Eyelashes.

Annie and Maggie

 You know me, over protective mom here.  I only let my kids watch PBS and Nick Jr.!!!!!  The other day they were watching Curious George and Ford decided he had an idea.  George had used cardboard boxes to make a vending machine.  Very soon, we too had a vending machine.  It was pretty cool inside!

 Annie LOVES gymnastics.

 I found some magnetic letters in my teaching boxes in the attic.  The kids have enjoyed them.

 Ford, my hypochondriac, is often complaining about something.  So we went to the doctor last week.

 The littles acted bad.

 He has another ear infection.

 And Friday night was Parents Night Out.  Four couples loaded up in my suburban and met another couple in Memphis at a new restaurant called The Gray Canary.  The food was weird.  Weird as in I had to google what most of it was!!!!!  We had big fun though and enjoyed some much needed adult time.
